The American space program is in a new race. NASA is preparing to land a man on the Moon again in 2028, but everything depends not only on them, but also on private companies.
We are talking about two giants: SpaceX and Blue Origin. The first is developing the Starship spacecraft, which should be refueled in orbit and then move to the Moon. The second is working on the Blue Moon device, taking a more cautious, phased approach.
However, the plan has changed slightly: in 2027, a test flight will first be carried out in Earth orbit, and the actual landing is planned for 2028.
The most interesting thing is that NASA has already announced it will choose the option that is fully ready first.
